Pretty awful in just about every way. The action is tired and boring, the acting all around awful (including Chan who looked disinterested) and the CGI was laughably bad where in an age of Fast and Furious (and I know that series employs CGI as well, but some of the car stunts are real), it's inexcusable that they couldn't even do a drift without visual effects.

The plot itself is weak and the climax with the villain's ultimate plan of revenge (on a captain of a USS carrier who we only see for a few minutes) is a letdown and a weapon he paid $800M for was weak and easily destroyed. A real waste of nearly two hours. 1.5/5
